Saltpeter is a mineral that can be found underground.
Obtaining
Saltpeter forms as a white-ish coating on the surface of natural rock in caves. The prospecting pick doesn't detect/report saltpeter's potential presence. There are no particular rock types saltpeter prefers to form on. Pay attention while exploring caves. White-looking rock might actually be a thin layer of saltpeter.
- Saltpeter can generate at or below 80% of sealevel (which depends on the worldHeight). Therefore, a player can expect to find no saltpeter until below elevation Y 88 in a world with default settings. It's equally likely to generate at elevation Y 1 as at Y 71 (0 ± 0.8[1]).
- The average radius of a saltpeter deposit is 0 - 20 blocks (10 ± 10[2]).
- The average thickness of a saltpeter deposit is 4 - 10 blocks (7 ± 3[3]).
- Saltpeter gets 7 triesPerChunk[4]: the game tries 7 times to generate a deposit in each map chunk before giving up.
Breaking a saltpeter coating drops a chunk of saltpeter powder. A bare hand works but a shovel is the most effective tool for mining saltpeter. Be cautious when collecting saltpeter over water, as it will dissolve within seconds.
Usage
- Saltpeter can be directly applied to farmland as fertilizer, adding 13% N and 33% K to each block per use. Additional applications increase its potency.
- Saltpeter, combined with sulfur and black coal wrapped in linen, is used to create ore blasting bombs.
